Place: LMC, Artesia star system, Citadel Space Station, Romulan sector
Time: the present
Commander Tal Sahen marched quickly through the offices assigned to the command for the contingent of Romulans assigned to the LMC. He had his arm wrapped around a PADD as he move with an air of great purpose and authority toward his destination. Once be reached the ambassador's office he entered the reception area and stepped to the receptionist's desk.
"I have an appointment with the ambassador." Tal stated.
"Yes sir..." The receptionist said as he looked at the intelligence officer nervously before he hit the intercom. "ambassador Jeliai, Commander Tal Sahen to see you."
"Oh, good send him in."
Tal did not bother to wait for the receptionist to tell him it was okay to go in, he simply proceeded into the office upon hearing the ambassador's voice.
"Tal so good to see you again." Namala said with a smile. Tal just scowled. She knew his distaste and distrust for her. But, it wasn't something she took personal. Tal seemed to hate and distrust everyone. He was the most stereotypically Romulan.person she had ever met. In many ways her complete opposite.
"I have an update on our fleet assigned to the joint alliance offensive. They have engaged Apostate forces in conjunction with Kzari and Klingon forces." Tal stated as he handed her the PADD.
"Casualty report?" Nemala asked as she looked over the report.
"It's too soon. The fighting has just started. From initial reports, things seem to be going well."
"Great! thank you Tal. But, you really did not have to come all the way down here for this." Nemala said as she set the PADD aside.
"There was another matter I hoped to discuss."
"Oh? What might that be?"
"We may have a security breach. It has come to my attention that a member of the Admiral's staff, a Sublieutent H'Drian, has been having unauthorized contact with a Starfleet officer."
Nemala laughed. This seemed to upset Tal. "Ambassador I would appreciate it if you took operational security more seriously." Tal said sharply.
"Tal people hook up. Its not a big deal."
"its against protocol for personnel with access to classified material. And you have seen the reports about the potential we may have a Tal Shiar infiltration in our ranks and they may be working with rogue Star Fleet intelligence operatives."
"So what do you need from me?" Nemala asked.
"permission to interrogate this Star fleet officer, a Lieutenant Alerio Zhal."
"Oh hell no! The last thing I need is a diplomatic incident when you go all Romulan on some unsuspecting Star Fleet officer."
"Ambassador! I insist. This contact needs to be vetted."
"Let me take care of it. I can at least be subtle about it."
Tal scowled but seemed to accept this, "Very well, let me know what you find." He said before turning and leaving.
Nemala just shook her head as the man left her office.
